Bookroo's summary

Frank and Joe Hardy's tropical getaway to San Esteban quickly spirals into chaos. Unfriendly locals, wild animals invading their bungalow, and a shadowy figure tailing them suggest something sinister is afoot. As a fierce typhoon threatens to obliterate the island, the brothers must unravel the mystery behind their string of misfortunes. Can they uncover the truth before nature and their unknown adversary seal their fate?

From the publisher

A Fantastic Vacation Becomes A Fight For Life Visiting San Esteban is supposed to be a vacation for Frank and Joe Hardy and their friends, but it doesn’t take long for them to realize that the island is no paradise. Some of the local inhabitants aren’t very friendly to tourists, and the island itself is crawling with dangerous wild animals – some of which take up residence in the Hardys’ bungalow. As if this isn’t enough to worry about, someone starts dogging the Hardys every step of the way. Is this person responsible for most of the bad luck they’ve had? Not even the worst villain, though, could arrange the typhoon that turns all of San Esteban into a death trap. Can the Hardys solve the mystery of Typhoon Island before they’re wiped off the map?
